Textbook Theft Prevention System in the Bookstore

The Bookstore has a system to assist in preventing book theft. Students should select a place on which to make an inconspicuous identification mark in each textbook (i.e. name, social security number, date of birth, etc. on a specific page). If a book is stolen, the student should notify the Bookstore and describe the identification mark and its location. The buyback terminal in the Bookstore will indicate to the clerk that a book of that type has been stolen and the clerk will determine if it is that book. NOTE: Highlighting does not serve as positive identification.
